Screenwriting

Hey, everyone! I am happy to be here on Stage32. I am an aspiring screenwriter. I have always wanted to join the film industry since I was a child. I just never knew where to start. I wrote my first screenplay 19 years ago when I was 16. Now I am learning more and more everyday. I am just trying to get my work notice and looking for some guidance.

New writer could use guidance

I'm a very new writer that has recently been struck with a ton of varying ideas, one of them is going to be set in a world following the recent development of teleportation. I was wondering if any other writers would be interested in working with me on writing up a series over the next few months. F...

Practice. Practice. Practice. Get a journal, sit in a cafe, and write what you see. Read in the genre you are drawn which looks like sci fi. Great sci fi writers are Frank Herbert, Orson Scott Card, Isaac Amimov, Blake Crouch, Kurt Vonegut, Arthur Clark, and Madeline Le'Engle.

Tim Timbo

Thanks y'all, I appreciate the resources and guidance you've all provided so far and I'm going to read through everything you've offered.

I didn't even know where to start and this at least gave me a starting point.

Charmane Wedderburn

My favorite movie is, "It's a Wonderful Life".

It truly is a movie that is deep and moving, and reminds me how wonderful life can be, especially the connections we makes with others.

Maurice Vaughan

Hi, Charmane Wedderburn. IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE is one of my favorite Christmas movies, but it's a great movie to watch anytime.

Charmane Wedderburn

Hi Maurice! The movie addresses many of life's dark moments.
